35th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Alumni Luncheon
 
On January 10th, 2019, Leadership Kentucky will host its Annual Luncheon and Flame of Excellence award presentation in the Woodford Reserve room at Kroger Field in Lexington, KY beginning at 11:30 a.m.* 

The Flame of Excellence Award is presented each year to someone of major influence in our Commonwealth. This year, Leadership Kentucky is proud to present the award to Dave Adkisson, President and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. With Dave, we are honoring an alum who not only is influential and transformative throughout our state but with our own Leadership Kentucky program.  Dave was part of the group which helped to launch the LKY initiative 35 years ago.

Be sure to follow on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates and photos from the past 35 years! Click here to purchase your ticket!

*In coordination with the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, our Annual Luncheon will be held on the same day as "Kentucky Chamber Day" and will allow plenty of time to attend that event at Heritage Hall in the Lexington Convention Center. Registration and Reception begin at 5 p.m. and the Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. Make one trip to Lexington and attend two wonderful events! See you there.

You asked and we listened! In response to the feedback from the alumni survey, establishing Regional Councils is a top priority. In honor of the 35th Anniversary, Leadership Kentucky will be launching new outreach programs and initiatives, like Regional Councils. These councils will provide opportunities for alumni to gather, learn, and network beyond the LKY experience — in your own region! Want in on the regional councils? Be sure to update your contact information. A directory could also be on the way....
